Back To Hell
 
Ok, you're dead. You're in hell. You have one way out.

The Grim Reaper offers you a game. A game of your choice. You win, you get to return to the mortal realm. You lose, you live in Hell for eternity.

Which game would you chose to play him at.

You can't pick computer games, as with the exception of Champ Man and C&C, they're all for kids with adolescent odour and skin problems. (Yes, you can choose them Deepflow)


I'd go for Monopoly.

Deepflow 20 Nov 2005 20:52

Re: Back To Hell
 
Well, assuming that I could pick any game at all it would have to be "first to not be the Grim Reaper" or something equally hilarious.

If I'm not allowed to be a smartarse then probably go, if the grim reaper isnt some huge genius at every game.

Failing that, snakes and ladders.

you've just been watching Bill and Ted haven't you!
What happened to your dinner party?

I wouldn't play anything involving luck I don't think... I wouldn't trust the Grim Reaper not to cheat :(

Maybe some kind of physical game, I wouldn't expect him to be very athletic...

I thought it was something to do with drugs, but once i read what he said i knew what he meant..

and i agree with horn, the grim reaper would surely win in pretty much any game, or at least have an advantage.

I would play him at snooker.

I've just realised in this case all the reaper would have to do would be to say "i was not the grim reaper for a certain period before you were born" and win if i failed to set the parameters of the game strictly enough.

the cad.

Are we assuming that he is a basic mortal like us then?

No, we're assuming he's the ****ing Grim Reaper, in all his immortal and all powerful glory.

So stop trying to pussy foot out of it and think of something you're good at.

Don't worry, this thread is backed up with the rest of it so you've as long as you need to think about it.

Me and a mate from work played that in the middle of the bar up the road from the office one friday night after a game of Golden Tee ended up with the two of us tied eleven under par and no more pound coins for a playoff.

Two grown men in a bar getting very excited about rock paper sissors was apparently somewhat comical for the others to watch.

Some game which purely relies on luck (as im sure the Grim Reaper has a better understanding of every game invented etc) ... give me a bit of time and i'm sure i'll think of something (maybe).

Clearly since he is always portrayed as a master of strategy, and clearly has been around for eons...so plenty of time to practice various things, I'd roshambo him for it. Kick him right in the nuts then leg it.
That is, if he has nuts.
If not, then my broken foot would probably slow me down.

You have a cat in your avatar, ****wit.

It's a reference.

So challenging him to anything remotely requiring intelligence is out of the window for you then...

[edit] - way to go with the anon neg rep Sniborp, way big and clever. Congratulations on being the first person I have negrepped - i forgot to sign it, but it should be easy to work out what one is me.

Cricket. I can imagine him being able to drink a lot of beer, but not run or bowl very fast.

Death must be David Boon

a duel in world of warcraft for it - it wouldn't be my fault if he had never played before, and if he had, well, then it would be pretty much even :)

Chess. I might lose, but I would lose in style.

How about, 1st one to puke after lots of beer ?

Grim Reaper is a skeleton, therfore has no stomach.

I win.

he could never win that.

Forget winning, he'd never understand the thing.

Truth or Dare.

Truth, I ask him how I can escape from Hell, and Dare, he has to appoint me doorkeeper for a day.

Whichever he chooses, I'm laughing all the way to the Pearly Gates.

Cribbage.

Dante Hicks 21 Nov 2005 01:59

Re: Back To Hell
 
A fight to the death.

Or failing that, Chess. I'm not particularly good and I'd presume he'd win easily but I'd prefer to think if I was going to boil in hell for all eternity it'd be due to my own skills (or lack thereof) and not because he got lucky.

I'd play him at Risk, but it's a bit pointless with only two players. If the other 3 horsemen joined in then that'd be my choice.

Sure it was about my avatar...

So it's big and clever to neg rep someone for insulting you, but okay to neg rep back in spite? gg.

Despite you saying 'Repeal Rep' in your signature you seem to have a problem with people neg repping you.

Ok, so firstly I didn't actually call you a pussy. I said you were pussy footing around, which is a term we use to say someone is avoiding the subject matter for whatever reason.

Secondly - Yes, it is ok to neg rep back. Although usually I don't, as demonstrated by the fact tonight was the first time i can recall ever having given neg rep.

Thirdly, I have Repeal Rep in my signature for the fact that all reputation ever does is create things like this.

Fourthly, I can't be arsed to click on your little link, but I'm sure whatever it is was worth the effort of going and finding. I'm sure it has something to do with me complaining about neg rep or similar. Great. Yay. Woohoo. Whatever.

Finally, **** off.
